Caring for a Brussels Griffon

Health

Reflecting the Pug ancestry in the breed's development, Brussels Griffons carry some brachycephalic tendencies including breathing sensitivity in heat. They're also predisposed to patellar luxation, cataracts, and progressive retinal atrophy, and their prominent eyes are prone to injury and irritation. Dental crowding from the flat face is common given a smaller jaw fitting the same 42 teeth as other breeds.

Nutrition

A quality small-breed diet in measured portions; keeping weight controlled helps with the breed's breathing sensitivity.

Grooming

Grooming depends on coat type — the rough-coated variety needs regular hand-stripping, while the smooth-coated variety needs only minimal brushing.

Training

Brussels Griffons are intelligent and affectionate, training well with positive reinforcement; this breed's tendency toward separation anxiety is worth planning for if left alone often.

About the breed

The Brussels Griffon descends from a Belgian stable dog called the Smousje, historically kept to control rodents around coach horses, later crossed with imported toy breeds including the Pug and King Charles Spaniel in the 19th century to create the modern toy-sized Griffon. A small dog resembling an early Griffon type appears in Jan van Eyck's 15th-century painting The Arnolfini Marriage.

Brussels Griffons are known for an expressive, almost human-like face and a genuinely affectionate, sometimes clingy personality — closely bonded to their people, and generally not a breed suited to being left alone for long stretches.
